After a long awaiting periods; finally here it comes: Air Asia had officially announced that they will be flying Miri-Singapore route beginning 9th September 2009 with a weekly frequencies of 4; namely Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. The introductory fares will be RM 59 all inclusive (OF COURSE, this is WITHOUT add-ons).
Apart, they will also be doing Tawau-Singapore direct flight; do visit Air Asia webpage for more details; my focus is on MYY-SIN sector.
Local diaries had described it as a "Big event" for Mirians as most Mirian had been awaiting this for quite a long time from "ages ago", until the authority had given green light last year. But then Mirian still need to wait for another year to turn their wish into reality.
Tickets are available from today's onwards, if you had been want to fly direct to Singapore from the two cities mentioned above; grabs yours NOW!
That's all.
Bye bye.
Gotta have afternoon lectures soon.

Consider third week.....
Just finished by Taxation questions just now, 4 questions simply took me 2-3 hours; really terrible....
The gun of rushing is on the mark, mostly will start off soon...anyway need to start to cope with the "refreshment" process....
Well, just to share something; F5 lecturer really cant "contribute" much; perhaps we need to do extras for ourselves in order to secure a pass at least.....wahaha...
Malaysia Airlines is having sales again...and this time is only for five days....perhaps, erm....let's make a prediction; this weekend might have weekend special again...wakaka....see correct or not on Saturday....
Nothing much to say, simply want to type something in a more casual way...haha...not like previous three, really got something to share, hehe...
That's all, bye bye.

H1N1 topping up....good sign or bad sign?
Ever since the first case of H1N1 was being reported in Malaysia, the figure had been "climbing up" ever since, with now at a cumulative figure of 600+ within about month plus...well, doesnt really know whether this is really worth worrying or not; but then to me, I think we shall being thankful that there had not been fatal cases being reported ever since the first case being reported (hope this is true)....
Compared to ours' nearest neighbouring country, Thailand had already some fatality; Singapore's cases are already running in 4 digits and etc....I think is is still not so bad...but then it doesnt meant that no precautionary measures are required....just that Malaysian tend to have a "natural fear by media coverage"....
Just keep and eyes on self hygiene will be enough liao and avoid getting close contact with others....
Bye bye....nothing much to write liao..haha...

PPSMI (Mathematics and Science in English)...
Well, in accordance to my expectation; the government had officially decided to call off this issue in stages beginning the calendar year of 2012...eveything shall turn backwards to the old system as it was 6 years ago...Primary schools having mother languages as medium of instruction while secondary schools shall be using the national languages -- Bahasa Malaysia. As for Pre-U studies, they retained it to be in English.
But then what makes me sounds weird is that why should Primary four and Form 4 being involved in the re-transformation process as if this take place, they shall being making a "U turn" half way of the learning process, would they be able to cope with the chances? I doubt it.
Anyhow, since this is the decision; everyone should follows also. As over the years, not much people supported the ideas, majority concerning primary schools kids...in which they didnt know so much about English yet...and we as adults are expecting them to learn new fields in a language which is new to them...it is quite a burden...given the facts that what we are "feeding" them today...in my own opnion, this is really too much...
But then, for secondary; they also decided to revert it back to the olden days style, using Malay to deliver the two subjects concerned. Well, to someone out there maybe very astonishing as reported in papers this two days...but me personally doesnt....it does fall under my "genius guess"...
Just hope that this is the last major changes in our education system...I dont think we can afford to change so much...really time consuming and "money burning" also...
Anyway, the suggestion of making a complusory pass in SPM English do really counts...at least it shall force students to get a pass...just see what's the decision from the relevant authority when time due....
Bye for now.

Another week had lapsed...Classes stories....ACCA issues....
Well, here come another Friday; which implies that we had moved into second weeks of classes. Overall, I think for the class that I had chosen; the delivery of the knowledge seems quite good, with the lecturers of being capable of talking for hours. As for us as students down there, I think every single person is trying hard to translate and disgest what are being delivered to us in ours' mother language.
ACCA qualification and CAT qualification do differ quite significantly in terms of the in depth knowledge that is being expected from the examiners. No doubt that CAT shall built a strong foundation and layout for the progression over to ACCA, but then if this foundation is not strong enough, harsh time really come along, particularly on the three options papers that are available for CAT: Audit, Taxation & Financial management, which built a solid foundation for ACCA skills modules. Obviously, those who had undergone those materials covered in those 3 papers mentioned would have a good starting points for the corresponding papers in ACCA Skills; otherwise for those proceeds from ACCA knowledge modules directly, they shall be having really a hard time for it. You would think something like this: "What the hell is the lecturer talking about?" This is especially true when the syllabus areas are so wide that we need to rush after the limited lecturing hours, for instance Taxation.
Thus, although I had taken quite a "long" time for me to officially completed my CAT qualification; with what I am having now, I do think that building a solid layout first is rather a better choice when compared to having direct entrance to ACCA qualification.
F4 is really like hell, 28 chapters with lots of legal items, Statues, Laws and etc...far more boring then the history subject that we had during high schools days...it do requires much more memorising powers then any other papers....anyhow, after going through, you do gain some legal knowledge; which is quite good in practice, I think. But then, when it comes to memory; this really sounds bads....
And yet there are bulks and chunks of facts to pick, with all legal terms inside.
It will be even tougher for those with poor English command...seriously, this is as "bad" as Paper T5 in CAT: Managing People and System, where all are theories-based questions....clowds are arising when it comes to memorising power...I do hate "dead memory" or better phrase it as "forced memory"...what I am more happy with is "natural memory"...
As for F6, initially I didnt expect to take it for this semester as to me; two laws papers is a heavy load. But then the admin doesnt really allows as timetable might crash...so end up taking ACCA papers in sequences as prescribed by ACCA....
Well, abviously, the lecturer do well-prepared for her lessons; making her very best to drawn up some nice charts and graphical notes for the students to grasp every pieces of Taxation principles more easily from a well-converse tax refrences on the market...as mentioned...I do thankfully saying that I did pass through this whole process during CAT 9, at least there are still something inside my head (I meant at least I still know what Taxation is all about...and knowing how much in depth will we be expected to know); thus still being able to get what the lecturer talks about when she is instead on the "flying mode"...Someone requested for slower speed, but she claimed that if that happens, we would required much more slots, which is fairly true....taxation chapters are a lots....almost the same as F4, just that F4 is rigid; this is more practical...haha....
F5 is costing which is used to be my favourite subject during CAT times...so far she only covered introduction and MC & AC...nothing much new yet....see what's will be going on next week...it's looks like repeatition from CAT course...I think we didnt start even a single new things for F5....see how....and see whether it would still remain my favourite areas for the ACCA qualification or not....
Anyway, since two weeks add/drop subjects period is almost due and everything shall be made final with regards to subjects taken and class groupings (rather lecturers choosing); it officially marks that the "honeymoon" periods shall end and lecturers had told us as students that we all shall be going full swing mode very vey soon...
With the "magical" words, it would meant that the "torturing" processes would begin by then ---- rushing every contents of the syllabus, doing tutorials, reading materials, grasping every important parts of the exams, Tests and mock exams, Revision courses....and finally sitting in ACCA exams hall in due of Dec....All within 5 months periods of time....
With that, that's all for now.

Missing AFC skills....
Well, tomorrow shall mark the 5th day of my stay in Sunway. After all, everything appear to be OK and good for me; just that eating really sounds bad. Not only the choices within the campus are limited, those restaurant surrounding there also pretty sad....really wandering how to treat my stomach well....?
Not only limited choices, they are pretty much expensive...much more expensive that any other places....really cannot tahan...
Thus, this is the reason what I meant by missing AFC (Asian Food Channel on Astro) skills....hais....
Bye bye!

Officially ACCA students...
After one day of boring orientation (as usual, or else it is not an orientation anymore).
Today started my ACCA lessons with F4: Corporate and Business Law. Anyhow, scheduled time is 5.5 hours, but we spend an hour for collecting our course materials...
Then the lecturer went on to talk for about 2 hours non stop...touching on the overview and some tactic on exams...then went on for her first topics about contract law...which is a little bit familiar from CAT studies...but now having more greater details...anyway, since this is the first class; she went on on quite moderate speed, covering not much topics / pages, but talking a lot more in great details...
to me, it looks like very experienced....hoping that F5 and F6 lecturers have such skills also....
Anyhow, with official commencement of the course; it marks the count down of the 6 months circle for a typical ACCA student...4 months lectures + 1 month revision + 2 weeks exams + 2 weeks holidays = 6 months exactly!
That's all for now, bye bye.
